How secure are these adjustable racks? I really like what I see about this product. It has nearly all the features I'm looking for. But I can't see from the product description, the manual or from photos if this oven has safety catches for the adjustable oven racks. I've had problems in the past with sliding adjustable racks wanting to come out with the food tray it holds and nearly cause a bad spill. I find this pesky as an adult, I surely don't want this type of a problem with a child around. If anyone can tell me more about the racks on this toaster oven, I would surely appreciate it.

Also, Does anyone know if the Krups FBC4 toaster oven is chrome on the sides? It is described as chrome with black accents, but I don't know how much is black. Thank you. \

R, This oven DOES NOT have safety catches on the racks. That's one of the complaints in my review. That & the fact that the oven CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THE KRUPS OVEN.

There are so many diverse comparisons of high end toaster ovens. There doesn't seem to be one without problems! Help!

No, this toaster oven does not offer this feature. You will need to open the door and then pull out the tray/rack. I hope this helps you.

Nancy, I did not get your question, but I have had this oven for over 3 years. I love it! It is the best oven I have ever had. The only thing I have found is when I clean it, the highest cleaning level is too much. I have to use the medium level of cleaning. Other than that this is the perfect oven. When I get a new stove, I will buy electrolux. I hope this helped you. Any other questions, please ask.

Hello again JD, When reading the rest of the reviews, I found your answer, YAY! I was curious myself as I intend to purchase this item. This time I'm more helpful to you. I copied the review dated a month after you posted your question as to whether this garment rack is adjustable: "5.0 out of 5 stars Durable Space Saver!, August 20, 2010 By emma - I recently moved into an apartment with limited closet space, so I needed to get creative to find ways to store my sizable wardrobe. I did thorough research on several websites trying to find a good garment rack. This one was one of the best values I saw, and it gets free shipping! You need two people to assemble this product, not because the assembly is complicated, but because the pieces are large. My husband and I were easily able to put it together in 15 minutes, and then wheel it into the bedroom. One of the things I like is that the position of the top and bottom shelves is adjustable. I was able to hang all my dresses and suits on this rack -- I was amazed! Some of the items on it are quite heavy (I have several full length, beaded/ sequined evening gowns), but that didn't seem to cause any problem. About 55 garments of mine fit on this rack. I love that it has the shelf on top of it. I used that to store my purses. I also used the shelf at the bottom for the formal shoes that go with my dresses. So far, it has held up really well! I haven't seen any signs of top-heaviness either. The rack is a perfect balance between size and compactness. It holds everything I need it to, but it doesn't take up a huge portion of my bedroom. The shiny finish is attractive, and I love what it does for my dresses! A great buy!"

No. I find it annoying when the trays come out. It is a great toaster oven. I have it for a couple of months now and even my husband like it.

I will check for you later. I found this set to be a waste of money. I have a mini toaster oven, pan size is perfect. However, the top broiler pan started to lose it's finish after a few uses. I never used anything abrasive to clean it with. It has now rusted & I just threw it out. I am now using the rack when I broil, but, it is difficult to clean as the food sticks to it. Don't waste your money. Keep shopping. I recently found some of these small pans at bed, bath & beyond. You may want to try those, you might have better luck.

For "easiness" it all depends if this unit comes with the "browning pan/drip pan" and additional accessories that go along with it. I have all the "bells and whistles" including the tongs, extender ring, etc. And there's five things I would like to mention: The "tongs" I rarely use. I suppose I'm afraid that I'm gonna loose my grip and everything will be flying and it's just easier for me to use an oven mitt. Secondly, get a small pizza oven brick if you're a pizza lover! Thirdly, Check-out Fagors web site for "recipes". (http://www.fagoramerica.com/appliances/small_appliances/specialty_cooking/halogen_tabletop_oven) I'm familiar with conventional/halogen ovens and food cooks really fast. In regards to accessories, I'm sure if you contact Fagor direct, they would be able to point you in the right direction for getting their accessories or, at least the round drip/fry pan. Believe me, I use it every time I cook with my fagor. :) Four, you want to keep your oven clean which is easy to do cuz it's self cleaning. As for grease splattering near the "light" area well ... wipe it down with a damp cloth after every use. However, I don't use "oil" when I cook my fried chicken strips. However, I have used it to "heat up" fried chicken (that I didn't cook myself) but, always used the drip/fry pan. Delicious! :) Fifth, if you really want to maximize your oven - invest in a halogen cook book cuz you'll even get more tips! :) Hope this helps :)

Please refer to page 32 of your manual- it sounds like you are attempting to use the wrong rack in the oven- this model has specific racks designed for the top and the bottom and they are NOT interchangeable. Melanie with Goedekers

I use my liner on the very bottom of my toaster broiler. It catches any drips and cleans off like a dream. I always let the oven cool off before I remove it. There certainly has been NO problem using it like a drip guard. It is a great addition.

There are no slots to hold slide-in racks, probably because Sharp is worried that food on such racks could catch on fire if microwave mode was accidentally activated. However the oven comes with two round 13" diameter racks with legs 120 degrees apart that fit on the turntable. One sits about 2" above it, the other about 4.5" above it (the latter leaves slightly over 5" of clearance). Both racks can be used together. By the way, I believe the R-930 series has both the largest interior and widest turntable of any convection-microwave oven, and I once cooked a 14 lb. turkey in mine (did not have to remove the drumsticks or tuck them in).

You should also have plenty of room between top and another surface, it gives off heat. Sad thing is all toaster ovens suffer from this, figured someone would have fixed that but it is a great oven.

Since it is metal, the outside will get hot so I would keep an eye on children the same as if I were using a grill. There are hand grips on the 2 racks but you will need pot holders/hot pads to get the food off both racks ( if using both) when it's done. Mine was a gift from my brother in law-I have had it for over 10 years and bought one as a gift for my fiance since he lives in another state. Great product!

All toasters are made this way. I can attest to that. I have bought several models now in hopes of finding one with the cord coming out the back. My electrical sockets are higher up on my kitchen wall and I've tried several models and the coords are NOT long enough to reach the socket unless I turn the toaster around to be facing the wall. Totally unacceptable. I've decided not to have a toaster anymore. Just going to use my oven broiler for now on.

Here from the Netherlands as well the same question? Where are the stainless steal pan baking machines? After having used up 2 teflon coated baking machine pans I have had it with exposing my family to hazarding materials in my bread.. How is it possible that no manufacturer has taken this market?

It will only hold a 9x13 pan (glass or metal) if the pan does not have any kind of lip or handle. If you have pans without a lip or handle, you can put one on each shelf. I also don't understand what Judith is saying. It sounds like she is talking about the roasting pan, not a rack. And, if the oven did not have two oven racks, she should have contacted Hamilton Beach warranty. I just had an oven with a knob that quit working; called warranty and had a new one at my door within a week. Great oven, great warranty!

This does not have the convection oven feature. I, too, was a little confused about this, but decided to order it anyway. I am glad we did because, hands down, this is the best toaster oven we have ever owned (I can't believe I am excited about this- it really is true, you do eventually turn into your parents). Very spacious, cooks and toasts evenly, and the crumb tray covers the entire bottom so it is very easy to clean. We have had it now for about 6 months. I would buy it again in a second.

Check the "door hooks". They are the little plastic hooks sticking out of the door when you open it. They're both mounted on a plastic strip (that you can't see), and they should move easily. If they seem sluggish, spray just a little silicon spray on the top one and work it up and down. That should make them move easily, and that should solve the problem. When they are all gummed up (for some reason), they don't fully disengage the safety switch when the door is closed, so the oven shuts off. Had same problem -- solved.
